I bought the RS6 about a month ago and when I got it home I found a oil leak, it wasnt bad but was hitting the passenger exhaust manifold and the smell went straight into the cabin filter so I just put her up on jack stands last weekend and its pretty filthy under the front dust panel. The plastic panel has 2 small holes from rubbing on things the prior owners hit so the oil was coming out of both side but looks like I have a few leaks that need to be addressed.
The one that appears to be coming from the LS valve cover gasket (which has been replaced before) might be one of a couple leaks, I also have oil on the starter and found a nice power steering fluid leak but Im not sure where its leaking from yet.
The timing belt and water pump job were already on the list of things to do but looks like it will be a little more than expected. I hope I dont need to yank the Engine and Transmission, that doesnt sound like fun.
BTW, the smaller carbon Fiber panel that uses the aircraft panel releases looks like it just sits on the other pannel's hardware, should there be a rubber grommet on either panel where the two meet?
